Can you detect trimming?

Unless obvious, like an uneven scissor line, unquestionably  reduced dimensions (particularly vertical), or a perfectly squared off reading edge, it's very difficult to assess trimming from a scan or photo. I see nothing in the image that would lead one to suspect trimming, but that wouldn't rule it out.

Can I detect trimming from a picture? Not really.

In hand, most of the time yes. I can often see a difference in the color of a trimmed page: the outer layers of the page being darker than the interior due to time and exposure. Once the page is trimmed the inner color is revealed on the edge.
